Human Managed hm.works 1.6 released with cyber detections

Human Managed app hm.works 1.6 released with dashboard on cyber detections


Since its first release on 13 March 2023, the Human Managed web app hm.works has been getting fresh updates every single week to report on intel generated from any data source from our customers.

This week, we are excited to announce the release of a dashboard that tells the story of threat detections that hm.works generate after it analyzes data events from customers' data sources. (See how we define everything 'data' at HM in our 1.5 release note)

Introducing...

Detect Dashboard

Untitled design (11).png

A single page answers the top 3 things you need to know about the detections generated by the hm.works platform:

1. What states and behaviors are detected in my environment?

2. What kind of threats do these detections expose me to?

2. How severe are the threats to my organization?

What's a detection?

  • What it is: an alert event triggered when states and/or behaviors from customer's data matches the conditions, correlation rules and/or machine-learning algorithms enabled in the hm.works platform.
  • Why it is important: detections identify interesting events, threats, or opportunities that exist in your environment.

    When properly categorized, monitored, and analyzed, detections inform your action to react and resolve in response to the threats. When not done properly, detections can quickly get overwhelming and meaningless.

Not everything is an interesting event or a threat that requires a response, especially with limited time and resources. This is why it's all the more important to enrich your data events with relevant contexts and use cases.

Let's explore each segment of the Detection Dashboard:

Detections by Category

  • What: This donut chart maps detections to the various techniques and strategies observed in the state and/or behavior. Every single activity and state data from customer data sources are automatically categorized into one out of 15 detection types.
  • Why: Helps you to understand the kind of threats the detection events collectively expose your organization to, and to establish trends and patterns related to threats.
  • How: Forward data to hm.works from any data source (devices, app, api, compute, storage, tool or services that generate log, metrics, traces, event data, alerts).

Detections Over Time

  • What: This bar chart reports the total number of detections generated by hm.works after your data is enriched with conditions, correlation rules and/or machine-learning algorithms (a.k.a. use cases).
  • Why: Helps you to establish benchmarks and understand the behavior of your environment from the detections generated over time.
  • How: Forward data to hm.works from any data source (devices, app, api, compute, storage, tool or services that generate log, metrics, traces, event data, alerts).

Detections Grid

  • What: This interactive grid breaks down the details of all detections generated by hm.works such as their detection categories, affected assets, and date of detection.
  • Why: Having the details of your detections allow you to investigate and take decisions on the next course of action (to react and/or resolve) in response to the threats.
  • How: Forward data to hm.works from any data source (devices, app, api, compute, storage, tool or services that generate log, metrics, traces, event data, alerts).
